Abstract

There are almost thirty million Latino persons in the United States, representing eleven percent of the total U.S. population. Relative to their proportion in the U.S. population Latinos are overrepresented in criminal justice statistics. Latinos express “more confidence” in the criminal justice system than either white or black persons. The focus on white/black patterns in criminal justice statistics, however, ignores the study of Latino experiences with the criminal justice system.
